“夜明けの包丁が鳴る、築地の魚河岸。”
銀座駅から徒歩で約10分の場所にある築地市場は、かつて日本を代表する卸売市場で、早朝から行われるマグロの競りが有名でした。2018年秋に、仲卸業者やプロの料理人が利用する「築地場内市場」は豊洲へ移転しましたが、一般の人がグルメを楽しむことができる「築地場外市場」は現在も残されています。場外市場では、新鮮でおいしい海鮮丼やお寿司を味わったり、魚介類を自分で購入することもできます。また、仕入れを行う人向けの専門店も集まっています。

The Tsukuji Market had a copious amounts of food options including all-you-can-eat, sit down restaurants, and food stalls. I highly recommend trying their black sesame ice cream cones that are sold at multiple different stalls as well as the selection of their fresh sushi.
I went to this spot in the afternoon. And lots of stores were closed. I guess it would be noisier and more crowded in the morning. But still many sellers were touting on the street. Some stores are selling fresh fish. But more were selling dried foods in the afternoon. And you can also buy some crafts and tableware here. I bought a piece of tamagoyaki (kind of dessert or dishes made by egg, like rolled omelets) here. Not expensive and little bit sweet taste, suitable for a warm winter afternoon. I enjoyed it. But I think other foods like sushi and sashimi rice bowl sold here are more expensive than other place in Tokyo.
Despite having gone during a rainy afternoon alongside a huge crowd of tourists, visiting the Tsukiji market was fantastic. Much like Ameya Yokocho, all my friends and I did there was eat, eat and eat. From the freshest seafood to rolled omelettes (Daisada is the home of rolled omelettes) to "tuna" taiyaki (Sanoki-ya) to eating whale (Kujira no Tomisui - the only whale ship within the outer Tsukiji area), we definitely left feeling all too full. The market was like a circus to the senses; there was so much to see, smell, hear and taste that it got a bit overwhelming, but in a good way. I also tried amazake, which is a traditional sweet, no-to-little alcohol Japanese sake. Overall, had an amazing time and definitely recommend spending a couple hours here.
